  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds For garnish.
  • To taste green onions, for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a bowl, mix sesame oil, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger.
  3. Marinate the chicken in the mixture for at least 30 minutes.
Cooking
  1. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the marinated chicken.
  2. Cook the chicken until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top and garnish with green onions before serving.

Notes

Marinating for longer enhances flavors. Serve with steamed broccoli or snap peas for added nutrition. To store, place in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze it for longer storage.
